Tripod support
Every now and then I see a 5th wheeler with a tripod under the pin, apparently for added support. Does this really do anything? The trailer sits on the wheels, the landing gear and the rear levelers?

- We use the tripod when we are sitting for a week or more, it does cut down on minor vibration only felt when one of us is upstairs and the other sitting in the rear. Also makes a handy spot to lock up the bikes.
The Mountain Aire has a narrow frame due to the duals (8 tires on two axles) and the BigFoot had to go inside the frame rails for a couple of reasons. As a result our front jacks are not as far apart as optimal.
